THE BoNDHOLDERs.

The preferred debt of the company,
consisting of the tirst-mortgage bonds,
the watcr-rent, taxes, and receivers
certificates, the larger part OF which j.
for insurance, &c., amount to between
s240, 600 and $3.50, 600. From this it
will be seen that the holders of the
first-mortgage bonds will only receive
about 40 or AZ per cent. The holders
of the second mortgage bonds and the
general creditors, whose claims aggre-
gate about $40, 900, will receive not
one cent.
THE EMPLOYEES.
Among the latter are the employees
engaged at the mill when operations
were suspended. Their claims amount
TO several thousand dollars. II was pro-
posed at one time that the commission
ers should recommend that these be
paid, but such was never done. The
loss falls particularly hard on them,
many of whom by the cessation OF work
at the mill were thrown out Of employ
ment for months, and some Of them are
exceedingly poor, with large families
dependent upon them.

Judge Thomas Decision.

The decision Of Judge Thomas in the
appeal of Sheriff Garland from the &C.
ton Of the board of commissi oners on
his bill as sheriff for the quarter ending
Dec :3lst, 1896. was rendered on Satur
day, the 18th inst, in which it is held
that the recent act Of congress does no,

case from the state Of Missouri, which
went up under similar circumstances
whore il was held that the,constitutiona
provision would not apply to the ex'
penses necessary to carry on its exist
ence and to protect itself against viola.
tions Of the law, in which view he
comedies He further says:
"T0 hold that congress would organ
ize territory, give them power To carry
on their government and TO protect
society and then pass q Ia %hicl would
Ill effect prohibit that very thing, know
ing at the time RS they are bound to
know, that some Of the counties had al
ready exceeded the limit, would be to
hold that congress had passed an alb
surd and ridiculous law. 1t is not the
province of this court 10 do this The
supreme court may take another view
Of the question, but this court has not
reached that point"
This decision, notwithstanding it may
be said to differ with the opinions Of a
great majority of Black Hills lawyers,
and is in conflict with our own former
views, is accepted by us as being, under
the circumstances, fully warranted.
County commissioners, who have been
wading in deep water before and during
the pending Of this decision, will now
be relieved of a weight of responsibility,
aud feeling of doubt AS 10 the legality
Of past acts, which will be extremely
refreshing.

speaking with reference 10 railroad
building in Dakota during the present
year, says:
mo doubt the most important line
projected in Dakota, and which will IN.
douhtediy be buitt during the coming
summer, is the extension ofthc Elkhorn
branch from Rapid City TO DeAdwood
md other points in the Hills 1t was
promised last spring that this branch
should surely be built. but later in tho
season, all energies were bent on rush
ing the Wyoming extension ~ far ont
~ possible With view Of heading off
other companies that were pointing in
thnt direction, and which threatened to
divide their interests Of that rich sec
tion. But the Hills country has waited
long and patiently, and will no doubt

Northern Pacific Branch.

The following from the Mandan Pio-
neer Of recent tiatc, which We accept as
authentic until We are otherwise ad-
viScd is reproduced for CHRONICLE
readers:
Steps Of decided character are be-
ing taken 10 secure the building Of a
road from Mundan 10 the Black Hills.
These steps are not being taken by ir-
responsible individuals as Il matter Of
speculation, but the question is receiv-
ing serious consideration 1T the hands
of the officials Of the Northern Pacific.
They realize that one Of the first feed
ers to the Northern Pacific is branch
10 the Black Hills. Bismarck will soon
be reached by rivals Of the Northern
Pacific that are pressing towards the
Missouri river, and the Northern Pa
rific must get to the Hills"

A reporter was told yesterday that
the business of the Evans Transporta-
ton company, including stock, wagons,
warehouses, etc, were being transferred
to the Northwestern Express, Stage and
Transportation company, and that the
Evans company was going ont Of busi-
ness. Since the advent of the railroad,
although nm immense freight business
has been done north Of Rapid City,
there has not been the money in IL that
there once was. The Niobrara was the
first company TO leave the field, trans
ferring their outfit to Douglas, Wyo.
ming. With the retirement Of the
Evans line. the field Of transportation
between Rapid and the upper camps Of
the Hills is left to the Northwestern
company and Ed. Cuthbertson. Many
people, and particularly many business
men will regret to learn of the retire
ment Of the Evans company, as it has
always been popular with Black Hills
shippers. Mr.. Fred T. Evans, the head
Of the company, is a man well known
and liked through this country. He is
already allied with the interests of
Rapid City, and the disposal of his
transportation line will not affect his
connection with the business Of this
city.-Rapid Journal.

meantime

The Dakota legislature is not proving
to be as harmonious a body as many
claimed it would be. An order of call
Of the house on the 18th, on a motion to
accept the report of the committee on
rules created quite sensation. The
call, which was maintained until mid
night, WAS the result of combination
formed by the North Dakota members
with seven OF the members Of the South
Dakota combination to break the COM
bination under which the house was Or
ganized. Hobart, Of Moody county,
who was promised the chairmanship of
the committee on railroads, which was
given to Stewart, of Fail River, was the
leader of the movement. 1t is now be-
lieved that Crosse will resign the speak
ership in favor of Stewart, who resigned
the craftsmanship on the railroad COM
mittee in favor of Hobart.
